“After September 11, 2001, ‘God bless America’ was on everyone’s lips. But what, exactly, are we asking God to bless – a nation moving a breakneck speed toward homosexual marriage, a nation awash in pornography, a nation in which our children are indoctrinated in perversion in the public schools, a nation in which most public displays of The Ten Commandments are considered offensive to the Constitution, a nation in which the elite does all in its considerable power to efface our Biblical heritage?

“We are sowing the wind. Surely, we shall reap the whirlwind.

“One other factor which must be considered: Days before Katrina nearly wiped New Orleans off the map, 9,000 Jewish residents of Gaza were driven from their homes with the full support of the United States government. Could this be a playing out of prophesy (‘I will bless that nation that blesses you, and curse the nation that curses you’)?”

— Rick Scarborough, speaking on behalf of Vision America and the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration, whose upcoming event, the “Countering the War on Faith Conference,” will be held in Washington DC next month. Speakers will include likely 2008 presidential candidate Senator Sam Brownback, Alan Keyes, Gary Bauer and Phyllis Schlafly. Among invited speakers are David Horowitz, Zell Miller and Judge Roy Moore. The advisory board of Scarborough’s Vision America, meanwhile, is comprised of a Who’s Who of the mainstream right, including heavy-hitters like D. James Kennedy, Jerry Falwell and Tim LaHaye.
